Reflect. Blog marathon post 10
The prompt given for this Sunday at Sunday Scribblings is ' Reflect'. Here is my entry for it, which also serves as post for the day.
Reflect
As I watch you stand on the balcony,
Looking out, pondering over unsaid thoughts,
I reflect.
As I watch you have that cup of tea,
Saying a hundred things without speaking a word,
I reflect.
As I hear you lashing out in anger,
A hundred accusations flying wildly,
I reflect.
As I analyse the path I have chosen
And my conviction of sticking to it, even when lost,
I reflect.
But mostly I think about all that has gone wrong
And all that could have been
I reflect.
And I weep.
For a love that died
But tears continuing to flow are lost in all the reflections.
